altercation vs hemi denny
sprint cars with open heim joints that I believe as time goes by, the grit they are contaminated with
will manifest itself with roughness and accelerated wear. Not a concern on a drag car or very limited
use hobby car; at least when they are relatively new.
Long term all-weather street use may be another kettle of fish entirely. There is also a very limited
(albeit possibly adequate) range of movement with a heim joint compared an automotive tie-rod end.
Whichever of these capable suspensions I choose, it will have heavy duty sealed and booted greaseable
automotive style tie rod ends, even if that means having to add them after the purchase.
